We stopped for gas on Interstate 80 in Pennsylvania and spotted a food truck.

Or rather, we spotted the sign.

I was instantly sorry we had just eaten a great lunch and dessert after I gave a talk for adults and met with students at the bustling journalism center at vibrant Susquehanna University, in the pleasant river town of Selinsgrove, Pa.

After lunch in such good company, no way we could even sample a tamale.

But I pointed at the sign alongside Zapata’s Food Truckat Exit 256 and told the guys outside:"Próxima vez." Next time.

Funny sign. I love the people humor sense. I think this place deserves a visit on your next time at.

Do you remember (?) Mosier who played for Susquehanna when you were in school? Very good player. It appears you are travelling the old MAC div.2 circuit! Stay well......

Lew, great to hear from you, I just looked it up, Hofstra beat Susquehanna six straight times in five years (once in ECAC playoff in 62-63.) Our lunch pals beat them, 70-60, in 59-60, when they were 23-1.
I don't remember the guy you mentioned. I probably saw him.
Very nice school. I gave a talk to a senior program that meets on campus and then I visited the communications building.
We used to make the rounds of all those schools -- Moravian, Albright, Lycoming, Gettysburg. I went to a few as the student flack. Somehow every trip ended up in the same NJ diner on Route 22 when Paul and Butch needed a coffee.
The Tamale guys weren't in PA then, alas.
Be well, GV

Go to Muhlenberg in Allentown, if you get the chance. It is a great, student-centered College. Despite a fellow reader, goal keeper, etc. “ Oh Muhlenberg was Muhlenberg when Lehigh was a pup...” 1848.

Ed, Lehigh was founded in 1865 not too far behind. Muhlenberg was a great school to visit and not because we beat them in soccer on each visit. Allentown was a favorite of mine to visit for all it old and historic sites.

Historic Bethlehem down the hill from the Bethlehem Hotel near Moravian College was a gem. It was in stark contrast to the gritty streets and neighborhoods near the steel mill.

Good to see Ed still knocking Lehigh, which indicates that he is in top form.

What was that other school’s name? I remember it started with L.

Oh, I remember now, .... Lafayette!
